The BEST High-Waisted Bikini + a $100 ModCloth Gift Card Giveaway!

Swimsuit season is not too far away! For the last 5 years, this polka dot, high-waisted bikini has been my favorite swimsuit. It’s incredibly comfortable, it’s cute and it’s held up remarkably well!

It’s an Esther Williams bikini I bought from ModCloth more than 5 years ago, along with this giant sun hat. I had initially been deterred by the high price tag, but it more than proved to be worth it! I mean, I’ve had it for 5 years and have worn it on countless adventures, and it’s in great shape still. (And if the high price tag deters you – enter the $100 ModCloth gift card giveaway at the end of this post!)

Comfort

I especially love how well the bottoms fit, and I’m not constantly picking a grundie while wearing it (which is something that happens frequently with women’s swimwear). The top is super-comfortable for me as well. However, please note, it’s not for everyone. If you’re used to a ton of support on top, this one isn’t for you. It’s enough support for my cup size, but again, it may not be for you.

Sizing

You can now order this bikini top and bikini bottoms in two separate sizes. When I bought it years ago, you had to buy them in the same size. I ordered an 8 in both and, luckily, they were both a great fit. I’m typically a size 6, but this suit runs small. Definitely, check the size chart and SIZE UP if you’re in between sizes. (It’s available in sizes 6 – 24W!)

Colors

If you don’t like the black and white color combo of this bikini, it is also available in a gold and black combo and also red and white combo, now! You can check out the different color variations in the widget below.

Wearing My High-Waisted Bikini Throughout the Years

I’ve worn it far more than what is pictured, below! However, these are some photos and adventures I’ve documented wearing it for the blog! Enjoy – and don’t forget to enter the $100 ModCloth gift card at the end of the post, so you can order your own high-waisted bikini (or whatever you want)!

1.) Camping in the Northwoods (Wisconsin)

The first time I ever featured this bikini on my blog! This was camping at my parent’s cabin in the Northwoods (Wisconsin).

Shark cage diving was not nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be. It was actually a really interesting experience! And this bikini was perfect for it as well! (That’s quite a selling point “great bikini for shark cage diving.” Haha.)

I know you can’t tell in this photo – but I swear I’m wearing this high-waisted swimsuit while I’m parasailing. It was great for this adventure, especially, because at the end of your parasail, they dip your bottom half in the ocean. If you’re not wearing bottoms that fit you well – it might not end well!

This is, perhaps, the biggest testament to how well this swimsuit has held up over the years. I recently wore it into the Dead Sea while in Israel…and it still looks great! Because of the Dead Sea’s high salt concentration, there’s a very good chance it’ll ruin your swimsuit. However, mine is still in great shape! I’ll likely put it to the test again when I’m in Jordan next month!

I’d probably look for a new swimsuit too. I’ve been saying I need one, and we are going on a Caribbean cruise at the end of the year. It would be perfect timing!!
That Brooke one piece swim suit has my name all over it!!

my 17 yr old daughter is obsessed with the 50’s and loves your swimsuit. In addition to the one you are wearing, she said she likes the Lucy one piece too. Love that they show models of different shapes and sizes on their website!

for some reason I got an error on the previous comment so trying again. My 17 yr old is obsessed with the 50’s and fashion from that time frame. She loves your bikini and also the Lucy one piece. I love that they show models of all shapes and sizes on their site too!
